Without being too restrictive about how you have to code as part of Brooklyn, there are some style points that really make life easier when sharing code among ourselves:

• Use spaces (not tabs!) with 4 spaces indentation
• Keep line length <=128
• Don‘t reformat code or organize imports unless there’s very good reason (this makes history and merges much harder)
